David Lemieux talks about Cornell and other reels that are missing below, as well as the new boxset (by way of Dead.net): http://www.relix.com/features/2013/05/07/beyond-cornell-david-lemieux-on-the-grateful-dead-archives-and-may-1977

Okay, that's what I thought - I need to reread that story. Was it in the interview with Betty?

What's up with the Betty Boards that are missing from the vault - does someone have them and wants money for them (David Lemieux has said numerous times that the Dead won't pay for their own reels) or are the original reels missing, outright?

http://www.pophistorydig.com/?tag=rolling-stones-steel-wheels-tour Interesting piece about the ways the Stones generated their money over the past 25 years - I guess we'll see how this latest tour fares.

I don't remember being that much (but I'm sure they were) - I was near the 20th row center, too - Did you drive up to Alpine to see them or did you see them in Indiana? I saw them at Alpine.

Yep, I remember those jokes. I think Letterman had a bunch of bits on them.

Going through some boxes in the garage, I came across the below, today - bought it the 1st time I saw the Stones, in 89. I don't remember the tickets being too bad, though I was making about $3.50 an hour. I think they were less than $40 or so, maybe even less than $30. Anyway below is a bandana.

I listen to about half of the Oakland show, decent sounding tape, the 2nd source - performance was just okay - a bit of plodding along. I haven't bothered to read any of Lefsetz's pieces on the recent tour, perhaps I should, but I am sure it's the same old predictable crap that he always writes.

One of my favorite performance of the song was in St. Louis, 1999 - when they were opening for REM. It seemed like he still had a chip on his shoulder towards St. Louis/Belleville area. It is the perfect way to start the Being There record, too.

I did check that book out once and read it - need to pick it up some day.

Maybe, make sure the guitar strap is on securely . I am sure he was part of the studio set up for the records, too - that may have been interesting to read about. I

I thought he dealt with Jerry's gear after Parish and Mickey had a falling out over the drum setup.- could be wrong though. Hell, a chapter on setting up the Wall of Sound would have been cool....

Luckily, I checked it out from the library --- it is a bit funny that in the spine of the book shows the hands of Jerry and Steve, passing a joint to each other, a young kid sees that in his public library and it's down hill from there.

Been using the Shows on this Day in History feature the Archive lately - listening to the 2/7/78 show now - never heard it before, it's a pretty good show. Really good audience recording, too - plus it's Kreutzmann's B-Day. http://archive.org/details/gd1978-05-07.fob.glassberg.motb.83498.sbeok.flac16 On another note, I am about 20 or so pages from from finishing Parish's book -- kinda is a dumb book, wish he would wrote more about the technical side of things a bit more. Loosing his whole family in the car wreck was a bit brutal, though. Dude, really enjoyed his nitrous, too. If he wou

I was going to ask how does Lionel Richie fit in with the above schedule, but I guess he has a new duet country record out? Do they have a country stage or something? One of these days I will make it down to Austin.

Agree with the Emotional Rescue - I do enjoy that song, but I only got through about a minute of the LA debut and I had to turn it off. (Lefsetz is a douche)

Yeah - I am hoping that they will release a bunch of $85 tickets closer to the show dates - the prices are ridiculous.

Just heard the Promised Land on the radio - sounded good, never heard Jerry sound so much like Chuck before (tone wise). Like Pigpen's simple organ riffs, too. Saw this cd and record at the store last weekend, but did not get either.

Only an audience recording of the Chicago 5/12 is out there. I do have some of the 5/13 Chicago show, it was bonus disc to the Winterland 77 shows. Beside that, I did not have any of the shows - of course that changed yesterday. Probably will listen to them and decide if I want to purchase the set.

So, did you enjoy Chicago, Shug?

Think I enjoy the Fox Theater, St. Louis, MO 2/2/70 show better on Dave's Picks Vol. 6 - I think TC overplays on the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA 12/20/69 show and I don't think he was a good fit on the newer material (Cumberland, Speedway, Uncle, & High Time). I haven't gotten to the Bonus disc, yet.

I enjoy that REM one, too.

The next box-set with be shows from May, 77. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/118539/Grateful-Dead-Channel-To-Preview-New-Box-Set-May-%2777

Only listened to the St. Louis show - think it's good, esp. Jerry's playing.

Thanks for the review - a very decent recording of the show popped up. It's up at Dime a Dozen if you are interested. Even can hear the train whistles and sirens....
